Every major media group, from popular newspapers to television hosts, has on a regular basis committed the same sins you list - from bias to selective quotation to making statistically misleading “racist” pronouncements to facing litigation and settlements to occasionally mentioning facts in the fourth paragraph. Where are these mythical ethical gatekeepers you describe?

Ethics in journalism has fallen hard but was a huge chunk of my college roommates (polysci/journalism major) coursework. In the case of PV, they are 90% unethical disproven fraud and 10% at best real issues. Almost every major headline they produce is edited, photoshopped, staged, or aggravated whereas the opposite is true for major media outlets like the NYT, WaPo, and others. 105 might be partisan coverage or leaning but 90% is real information or at least not photoshopped evidence.
